It's a bit of a shock, yes. Love Corrie. Been watching it for over twenty years. I'm shocked to see Izzy and Marcus's names up there, as out of of them all, they are my faves. Hope they stay. Marcus has been a true friend to Maria during her Cancer scare.

They're hardly gonna axe Izzy since this surrogacy storyline is going ahead unless they plan a really dramatic conclusion. If they get rid of her, they can get rid of the rest of the Armstrong/Windasses/Chesney imo

Keep Anna, I think she is the only character in the family who works away from the family.

Faves Karl Munro, Marcus Dent, Izzy Armstrong, Rob Donovan and Mandy Kamara are among those on a hit list drawn up by show bosses.

Since when were these faves. Mandy has only been in it five minutes and has hardly been an instant hit; ditto Carla's lame brother.

Karl was ruined through his affair with Sunita and Izzy divides fans at best.

The only one out of that lot I would say is actually a hit with fans and the only one I would miss is Marcus. Please keep him and get rid of Sean instead!

In general I do not think Collinson was great at introducing newbies with the likes of Owen, Gloria, Stella (okay people are starting to warm to her now but she has been in it over a year so it was about time and I'm still not entirely convinced by the stunt casting,the daughter Eva is the best of the lot), Karl, and Lloyds family all proving to be flops. (speaking of Lloyd's dull family, why isn't the daughter on the list as wel as the mother?)

I'm actually disappointed by some of the names not on the list and hope they will still feature in the mix somewhere, the likes of Tully need to go way more than some of the ones listed here. Tully is annoying whereas Lloyd's family are dull but largely inoffensive, I know who I would get rid of first given half the chance.

Some tabloids do have good sources for soap stories although each story has to be taken on a case by case basis.It could be true-obviously they do get it wrong sometimes but I thought the sun and star were often more right than wrong on soap stories?

Dont know about :-
Mandy
Rob
they haven't really had any storylines to get their teeth into to make that judgement yet, although I am a tad disappointed with Rob I thought he was going to be much better.

Gutted about:-

Izzy - she is just coming into her own
Marcus - I like his character without Sean

The rest of them on the list can go but I'll be annoyed if Marcus is axed - especially if Dame Cotton sticks around. What dirt does he have on TPTB at Granada, seriously?
Marcus is a really good, secure portrayal of a normal gay man (silly dalliances with Maria aside )
